Skiing and Snowboarding Ethics
Tips, advice and resources for those who love snow
Take the damn earbuds out or turn down the music to know what is going on around you sometimes! It is also very rude to ignore others on the chair simply by tuning them out with your music! You would be amazed at what you can learn if you just talk to others on the hill and chair! -Emma P Park City UT
I hate it when people cluelessly stand in front of the entrance to the lift lines. Just get out of the way and catch up with your friends on the side. -Hans R. Jackson Hole

I agree that there needs to be MUCH more awareness about common courtesy on the lifts lines. I am tired of clueless people who wait right next to the loading area. The worst seem to be parents with their young kids. They let chairs go by while they herd the kids together. In the meantime everyone behind them waits. Not only are they rude to everyone else but they are showing a poor example to the kids. Wake up parents...some of us are there to get runs in!

I am not going to get into the whole skiers vs boarders issue but I find it hard to believe that boarders cannot find a better, less obtrusive way to destrap or strap up instead of making everyone wait for them in the lift lines. They are always adjusting or setting up in the most congested areas.

I have been a skier for over 46 years and I have to say that there are certainly idiots boarding and skiing. But I also have noticed that there are more rude, ignorant and clueless boarders in the late teens and early twenties. Seriously, how dumb are you being out on the slopes with your lame baggy pants hanging down and/or your low class jerseys on? What are you guys...like 8 years old? Even they have more sense.
